Bruno Guimaraes puffed out his cheeks and said 'wow'. After the second, much-needed victory of Newcastle United's Premier League season over Nottingham Forest at St James' Park on Sunday, the Brazilian was full of praise for defenders Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman.
Even though Guimaraes scored the opening goal before Nick Woltemade's fourth goal in five starts from the penalty spot, it was Newcastle's rearguard which provided the foundation for a superb victory.
